Hollywood - Joliet, IL

[Tedlark]

  Well it has been a while since I visited Hollywood Casino in Joliet, IL and because I was going to be in the area for a retirement party on Saturday January 31, 2015; I figured what the heck and stopped in after the party.   I went to a 3/5 play machine and went the same route as I did at Hollywood in St. Louis, I went high denomination with a loss limit. On my third hand I got this:    After getting paid I resumed play and 20 minutes later:    This machine started taking a bit back and I wanted to play some 10 play so I walked over to a bank of All Star II machines and chose one. I was up and down, up and down, when I got:    The machine was giving me small aces. small 2's/3's/4's, and straight flushes enough to keep me playing and a little while later up popped:    By now it was snowing pretty good and it was about 2:30 am and I decided to give myself another 30 minutes of play. I'm glad I did because my good night was this:    All in all, a pretty good night.

WOW! I'll make another prediction that shouldn't ruffle any feathers. I bet you'll be returning to that casino more often, Ted. Congrats.

  Thanks everyone. It was the kind of night that I wanted to stay and play longer but it was really late and I was so tired. I'll be back there but just not tomorrow, lol...

Ted, congrats on these stupendously lucky hits.....I know you have said on several instances in past posts that you generally only play 25 cent denom, so I must ask, were these $2 denom hits part of a radical change in strategy or did you just simply get "Stupendously lucky" on a few random games played at a much higher denom than you typically play??I am genuinely curious (and trying to learn a few things myself from people who are "CONSISTENT WINNERS" like yourself!)    You do not mention what your final tally for profit is for the evening's action, but looking at your hits here I must assume your total profit for the night was well into the thousands (i'd guess 3 or 4 grand TOTAL profit!!?!?!?!?)Since you win 80% of the time (i.e. 4 out of 5 trips/sessions) what do you do with all this dough/winnings??    By my reckoning, 4 out 5 trips being profitable and judging by this session's results you must pull in a crapload of money and have dozens of w-2 forms!!?!?!      Please, tell me how you handle it without it being a problem (like for taxes and what not.....and how do you keep the casino from refusing your play since you win at such a prodigious and amazing rate and amount???)      I'd LOVE to have these problems and issues!!!!Again  Congrats!!!

DaBurglar,
LOL. What, you think he used crayons and drew these photos himself? If you can't simply and sincerely congratulate someone on a good day, then don't post.

DaBurglar,
LOL. What, you think he used crayons and drew these photos himself? If you can't simply and sincerely congratulate someone on a good day, then don't post.WHOA WHOA....where'd you come up with that????    I never doubted the veracity of the actual hits (c'mon rascal, "CRAYON"???)   I was totally serious in my previous post, I am sincerely ASKING a legit question here (and I did say Congrats and I mean that, even though I DOUBT heavily that he'd say the same to me if I post something like this....)I am only basing my question on what he has provided in the past in terms of info ..... he clearly has stated, more than once, that he is a consistently profitable player, and he further clarified that with stating he wins 80% of the time (4 out of 5).....Ok then, I'll choose to believe this, but it is not unreasonable to then ask "HOW" he does this and other pertinent info......I mean. c'mon, when the rest of us here are regularly reporting NON-profitable sessions, isnt anyone else here curious how Ted does so well???and i am NOT saying that NO ONE ELSE WINS HERE, or NO ONE ELSE posts winning hits or jackpots, obviously we all have our moments, but evenstill, when one of us posts a picture of a hit, we still concede that the TRIP  or session as a whole was NOT profitable (think of all BILLYJOE's former posts where he displays his hits or jackpots but STILL, his overall trip was non-profitable.)  And many others do the same thing.....I mean, isnt this FORUM all about reporting and sharing exactly the type of info that I just requested and/or asked about Tedlark's success????   If not, then what the heck are we even doing here other than to just kill time????Shadowman claimed he was consistently profitable, and i questioned this claim, and then shadowman (after several requests) EXPLAINED in detail how it is he is consistently profitable:  He related how he ONLY plays a specific "ONE EYED JACKS" game with a favorable paytable......and he did not claim he was winning "BIG BUCKS", he just consistently won a modest amount playing only this game.    Now that is a far cry from what most of us do on this site, which is to go to a casino and play our favortie games, or even the best paytable available, but still we all end up playing NEGATIVE games, and MOST of us lose.
